Mac Identifier also changes the Gestalt ID of one Macintosh to another
Macintosh model of your choosing. This can be useful in situations for
example, where you want to install certain software (such as a System
Software installer) which may not have an installer that will allow an
installation to go ahead because it detects an incorrect Macintosh
model. Mac Identifier fools that installer into thinking the Macintosh
you are running is the correct model and the installation proceeds.
Or, maybe you're simply tired of the two model options that
SheepShaver offers. Knock yourself out. YMMV.

 * DL #1: Mac Indentifier v2.2 in a StuffIt v5.5 ".sit" archive.

 * DL #2: Mac Identifier v3.0.2 archived as a .sea (self-extracting-
   archive) in a MacBinary II ".bin" wrapper, StuffIt Expander will
   extract this OK.

Mac Identifier 3.0.2 is still available for DL (as a $5 shareware),
from the author's [Flux Software][1] page. Although it is unlikely to
be purchasable as it uses the defunct Kagi as the payment vendor and
the Flux Software page was last updated in 2002. The Flux page carries
other classic Macintosh utility software that may or may not be found
here at the MG, which you may like to investigate.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

68k encoded. Runs fine on both 68k and PPC Macintosh.

In some instances, I found v2.2 to be the better choice (more stable),
but can't recall off-hand why, as it's been a while since I've needed
to install this software. Try both, see how they fare.

For systems 7.5 to 9.2.2
